Pros

Great benefits, paid tuition, many opportunities available to learn about the company and further develop your skills, defense budget is steady so guaranteed job security.

Cons

Difficult to fire someone who is not performing, many very low performing and unmotivated workers, depending on your department it may be difficult to get promoted because of "limits" set on the number of employees that can be in each category, department redundancy.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
